I can see a scenario where Godzilla underperforms. Buzz is strong among fanboys, but will that translate to GA hype?

Check the tracking thread

Yeah, the only May film with any GA hype I can see is... probably John Wick 3 ngl.

Godzilla is another PIka. Fanboys are excited, but the general public has been burned by that first movie. will they bite again? we shall see. i think 50M is where it will land

I can see a scenario where everything this summer underperforms.

I am interested in the Friday number for Pika. We’ve all been spoiled by Endgame. If Pika manages 50-60M opening, that would be a good opening. Just because the movie doesn’t over perform doesn’t make it a disappointment. 

50 would be ok. Forecast went down harshly from 75-90 on the high end to low 60s. Dropping another 15 to 50 isn't great. Hoping it gets to 60, that would be really solid.

The current presales for KoTM don't suggest below 60. Would have to collapse in further presales for under 60.

I...never made a prediction lol. But if I did, 50m is far closer to the stupid numbers being thrown around in Detective Pikachu thread lol

Gotta admit looking at the schedule this does feel like the most unexciting summer in a while.

Most previews start at 6 PM, do they? So Pika had like an extra showing.

I'd say $60M weekend, if Saturday picks up some steam.

Kids films often start at 4.

Considering how bad this year is we should hope that it at least reach its tracking, anything above it is a victory.

Why would Godzilla 2 be big in China? How did the first one do?

Disregard that, I suck cock. The first one made $77m in China in 2014.

What if the two Disney remakes end up being the two highest grossing films of the summer.

Damn, 2019 is kind of lackluster.

My general impression over the past few months is that it has NOT translated to the GA.

I hope I'm wrong.

Midsommar, The Souvenir, Booksmart, Godzilla, John Wick, The Dead Don't Die, Crawl, Ma, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, The Farewell, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Hobbs and Shaw, Where'd You Go Bernadette, Blinded By the Light all look great.  This summer looks pretty solid to me

John Wick 3 is doing well.

For what it is.

 

But it's not like it's going to actually beat Godzilla or Aladdin or Pikachu.
